The black car stopped a few meters away from them, its tinted windows rolling down smoothly to reveal a middle-aged man in a sharp, tailored suit who stepped out immediately. He held a sleek leather briefcase in one hand and scanned the tense atmosphere with a practiced, authoritative gaze that instantly commanded attention.
